open-design

Open Design generates design artifacts (websites, mobile apps, decks, docs) by delegating to whichever AI CLI you already have. It detects Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini, OpenCode, Hermes, Kimi, or Codex on your PATH and routes work through them. Apache 2.0.

Setup needs Node 24 and pnpm: `pnpm install && pnpm tools-dev run web`. Heavier than a desktop installer but it's a real web app you can deploy yourself. Ships with 31 composable skills (web prototypes, mobile apps, decks, PM specs) and 72 brand-grade design systems sourced from awesome-design-md, including Linear, Stripe, Notion, Apple, and Tesla.

Pick this if you already have Claude Code or Cursor and want a design layer over them, or want to host a shared team instance on Vercel. Solo: free. Small teams sharing one CLI key: free plus token bill. Larger teams can deploy it, but they manage infra and prompt quality.

The catch: heavier setup than open-codesign, and the multi-CLI delegation means quality depends on whichever agent is installed. If you're not already a CLI agent user, this is the wrong starting point.
